We can only pray it does indeed bring muchos rain and even hail. All the water we can get.

I couldn't agree with you more, the country is dry all over, scary thought of not having any water

Stronger-than-expected La Niña may be brewing
By Karen Braun

Oct 19 (Reuters) - Many have doubted forecasts calling for the onset of the first La Niña in almost five years, believing that its failure to materialize in convincing fashion- as originally predicted - means that it may be off the table for 2016-17.
But in recent weeks, the oceans and atmosphere have been pulling everything into place to facilitate a potentially stronger La Niña than previously thought.
Last Thursday, the U.S. Climate Prediction Center reissued the La Niña watch that was removed in early September. The watch indicates that conditions are favorable for the phenomenon's development within the next six months.
But there are larger-scale features in the oceans and atmosphere that appear consistent with soon welcoming a full-on La Niña, rather than a borderline event or a neutral ENSO.
